Stealth Symphony Chapter 5 review

Stealth
Symphony seems to follow a pattern a chapter of showcasing a quirky character
followed by another which spews exposition. As we are on an odd number the
latter is the case for this chapter. To the series credit it has a legitimately
interesting cast. That being said it goes up and down like a yo-yo when pacing
is involved ranging from slow to glacial every other chapter.

The art
is well done and the twist at chapter 5’s end hopefully shakes up what is quickly
becoming a tedious pattern. The rocky note the series is starting on is also
bringing into question how long it will last in a magazine that cancels series
quite frequently. Again to the Stealth Symphony’s credit the characters
profiled are legitimately intriguing and the direction the series will go in
the future is a mystery but whether the latter is due to great writing or the
author themselves not knowing is up in the air.
